The Adventure of the Old Aeronaut (Colour Litho)

The adventure of the old aeronaut. The grandfather from France, the famous 82-year-old George Cormier, who came to the festival of the Elders held every year in Angers, announced to his friends that he wanted to make a very short flight with the ball that was brought from his country. But the balloon, driven by the wind, moves away and shoots. He descended at dawn the next day, after a stormy night, near Evron (Mayenne), 100 kilometers from Angers. With a car, Grandpa then returned home where his parents were waiting for him in anxiety. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 23 September 1956.
